Coast Artillery, 1815-1914 Guide of Historic Cannon & Artillery Sites

The period 1815-1914 was the golden age in the history of British and American coast artillery. Striking evidence is the great number of coast forts from that century. Some preserved as historic monuments, many others abandoned still to be seen in both countries and in their former colonies. A primary purpose of this monograph is to help visitors to these sites, whether in the United States, the Philippines, Canada, New Zealand, Australia, or the United Kingdom, to more fully appreciate and enjoy them.- Coast Artillery, 1815-1914 by Roger F. Sarty. 48 pgs., more than 40 illustrations plus maps, charts and range tables.
